Eclipse dynamic web project not running on tomcat server

Question

I've installed a Tomcat server to my Eclipse (Kepler), so why does it need an internet connection when I run a dynamic web project?

Answer 1

If I understood your question correctly - you need to start your tomcat server before you access your application. It's not related to internet connection.

Overall Steps:

1.Follow THIS post answer steps to setup tomcat into eclipse

2.Add your application artifact (.war or .jar file) into tomcat server by right click on server -> Add and Remove...

3.Select your artifact and click on add button. You will see artifact moved from Available to Configured box.

4.Clean entire project (Project -> Clean)

5.Start you server and check console for any error.

6.If you don't see any error - access your application

Hope this helps!!
